Ring of Bright Water is a 1960 autobiographical book by Gavin Maxwell and a 1969 film, loosely based on the book, starring Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna.
The title was taken from a poem by Kathleen Raine, who said in her autobiography that Maxwell had been the love of her life.
Whoever said dog is man's best friend never met Mij! Mij is a cute, cuddly pet shop otter who captures the heart of Graham Merill (Bill Travers). It doesn't take Graham long to realize that London is no place to raise a slippery otter. So he takes Mij to live in a ramshackle cottage on the coast of Scotland. Together they set out to explore the curious and magnificent natural wonders that surround their seaside home--from orphaned geese to tooth-less sharks. While Mij spends his days frolicking in the icy cold sea, Graham finds himself falling in love with the beautiful town doctor, Mary (Virginia McKenna). Before long, the three become inseparable friends. Written by Rone Barton Lokarr
